Arsenal and Gabriel Martinelli have been in talks over a new contract for the last few months.
The forward’s current deal runs until the summer of 2024 which had left some doubt over his future at the Emirates.
His contract situation put FC Barcelona on red alert and the Spanish club had been closely following him, however, the Brazilian has now made his mind up over whether to commit his future to Mikel Arteta’s side.
